| Sorry call me a pessimist but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Hasn't Pentaport tried to do concerts in the past? If I remember correctly they've planned great shows a few times over the years but it always falls apart at the last second. The bands were never paid or whatever and they don't show up. I would buy a ticket until you know for sure that the bands are in the country. |

| Since the late 1990s, some big rock bands have made their way to Korea, but never so many A-list combos all in one summer. After being cancelled eight years ago due to heavy rainfall, the Pentaport Rock Festival, for which organizers have already assembled a gigantic playground, returns this July 28-30 at Incheon's Songdo. |

The article neglects to mention that the festival was cancelled twice prior to the year with the heavy rainfall. Ask anyone who's been here a while.
Sorry but it's not 'slanderous BS' if it's true. |

If it's raining like today is it still going ahead??
I guess they have measures for counteracting the rain. Not good for those campers thou
Also anyone know the fastest way for getting there from near Itaewon.
There are quite a few options on their website.
Anyway the strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo is Korea is fantastic!! |

You guys think it's still on for today?
If it's cancelled, will the tickets be refunded? I don't know how it's been the last few times it was cancelled. I just have this huge fear that I'll get there, and there will be a huge padlock on some gate with a sign that reads "*beep* off." |

| You guys can get off at Dongchundong stn. on the Incheon line (light blue color). It's right after Woninjae stn. I'd take a taxi from there (maybe about 2000 or so won). All the taxi drivers know Songdo Beach-ee resort-uh. In case that doesn't work, say Songdo Beach hotel (across from the resort). Have fun! |

It may seem rather obvious to most.. but when you say Dongchundong stn.. you mean Dongchun station right? (Can't see the former on the map) |
